HANOVER, GERMANY -- March 13, 2002 --At CeBIT, AMD (NYSE: AMD) today
announced that it plans to begin shipping AMD AthlonT XP processors
codenamed "Thoroughbred" based on .13 micron technology to customers later
this month.
[ . . . ]
"Our outstanding Fab 30 team in Dresden is already approaching mature yields
for the 80mm2 'Thoroughbred' die." On .13 micron technology, the
"Thoroughbred" core of the AMD Athlon XP processor is approximately 38
percent smaller than the current AMD Athlon XP processor on .18 process
technology. "Our closest competitor's most recently announced processor on
.13 micron technology is nearly 83 percent larger than AMD's .13 process
solution," Siegle said. "Moving to .13 micron technology will enable us to
produce higher-performing products while lowering costs, putting us in an
even stronger competitive position." By the end of 2002, AMD expects that
all of the AMD Athlon processor family will be produced on .13 micron
technology.

Na podstawie powierzchni jądra Thoroughbred (80mm2) można zgadywać, że
będzie miał większy cache niż Palomino, ale na razie nic oficjalnie o tym
nie wiadomo.
